Per the California Department of Public Health, this course is approved for 24 Contact Hours (2.4 CEUs) of Continuing Education (CE). While these CE units are intended for Registered Environmental Health Specialists (REHS) in California, they are often transferred to other accrediting bodies. Please check with your specific agency for more details and to learn if your agency accepts this course for CE credit (Public Health Accreditation #044).
This OSHA 24 Hour HAZWOPER course requires annual 8 Hour HAZWOPER Refresher training to keep current and comply with OSHA regulations. Refresher training should be completed within one year of completing this initial training course and every year thereafter.
Students who have taken the 24 Hour HAZWOPER course can upgrade to the 40 Hour HAZWOPER level by taking an additional 16 hours of training. This is accomplished by taking the 16 Hour HAZWOPER Upgrade. There is no time limit on when students with 24 hours of initial training must take the additional 16 hours of training.
Workers must receive additional training, when required by Federal, State, or local regulations, on the specific hazards of their job. Additional training in the use of any personal protective equipment or clothing used as part of emergency response is required and should be provided by your employer.
Training Providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company's training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training supplied by his or her employer. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company-specific training should be well documented.
Once workers have completed their 24 hours of training, OSHA requires that worker must get supervised field experience.
Per 29 CFR 1910.120(e)(3)(ii) and 29 CFR 1926.65(e)(3)(iii)
Workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task (such as, but not limited to, ground water monitoring, land surveying, or geophysical surveying) and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits shall receive a minimum of 24 hours of instruction off the site, and the minimum of one day actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.
Many people mistakenly think this is part of their initial training and it is NOT. The one-day requirement of direct supervision has nothing to do with the training requirement. This requirement is meant to ensure that newly trained employees are not sent to a work site and left unsupervised but rather get supervised field experience for at least one day. It is not part of their training period; it is part of their job function period.
While we have found that most employers do not document this field experience, we have created a form that employers can use to document this field experience:
